[HKFO] 香港節慶管弦樂團「節樂頌」樂季簡介《林子祥篇》"Ode to Change" with George Lam

節樂2013樂季將呈獻 「節樂頌」三部曲。 不論是普羅大眾、熱愛音樂的朋友，或是狂熱樂迷，節樂將帶領各位從繁華鬧巿，走進莊嚴的音樂廳，一同踏上一次不一樣的音樂變革之旅。

今年七月底，節樂首部曲將於鬧市之中舉行本港首個大型管弦樂團及合唱團「快閃」表演，為「節樂頌」揭開序幕。屆時，節樂將傾力演出，為聽眾送上貝多芬《第九交響曲》選段，一同分享音樂的喜悅。

「節樂頌」第二部曲將帶領樂迷進一步深入古典音樂世界。於八月十九日《聲起：林子祥X香港節樂與節慶和聲》，節樂將與香港著名流行歌手林子祥跨界合作，向廣大流行樂迷推廣古典音樂。節樂亦會聯同新成立的香港節慶和聲，為大家獻上耶爾魯《晨曦彌撒》的香港首演。樂團當晚亦會以威爾第《西西里晚禱》序曲向美妙的歌聲致敬。最後，莫扎特《加冕彌撒》將把「節樂頌」第二部曲推向高峰，帶領聽眾飛昇至更高的音樂境界。

「節樂頌」第三部曲 ―《貝九 • 以後》，為是次音樂旅程的終結。節樂將於八月廿七日為大家壓軸送上貝多芬《第九交響曲》，及布拉姆斯《第四交響曲》。《貝九》以舒勒一詩《快樂頌》為基礎，激昂的旋律震懾人心，令聽者無不動容 。這首雄偉的交響曲，更曾被喻為當今後世不可超越之作，作曲家均不敢將自己的作品與之相提並論。芸芸作曲家之中，就只有被樂評界冠以「貝多芬繼承者」之名的布拉姆斯，最終打破「貝多芬魔咒」,真正繼承並推動了古典交響樂的發展；在其筆下最後一首交響作品《第四交響曲》中，成功開創出個人獨特的風格，啟發了當今後世的作曲家。當晚，節樂將為各位聽眾呈獻《貝九 • 以後》，期待與你一同見證音樂史上的真正變革。

HKFO Season 2013: "Ode to Change" is a trilogic project designed to take audiences of Hong Kong through a transformational journey, uniting lay listeners, aficionados and veteran music lovers from the hustling and bustling streets of Hong Kong into the solemn concert halls.

In late July 2013, Part One of HKFO's "Trilogy of Change" is put into motion. HKFO premieres the city's first large-scale choral-orchestral "flash mob", bringing to the audience excerpts of Beethoven's Symphony No.9 at the heart of Hong Kong's famous malls.

Part Two of the trilogy takes our regiment deeper into the world of classical music. In "The Rising: George Lam X HKFO and Voices" (19 August 2013), HKFO joins hands with Hong Kong's popular artist George Lam in a crossover concert, introducing classical music to popular music lovers. Joined by HKFO's newly established partner choir, the Hong Kong Festival Voices (HKFV), the united ensemble will also bring to the audience Gjeilo's "Sunrise Mass", a Hong Kong premiere. Followed by Verdi's Overture to "I vespri siciliani" and Mozart's "Die Krönungsmesse", the concert ends as the protagonists of our journey rise through a coronational progression, into greater heights of the musical realm.

Our journey ends on 27 August 2013, as HKFO presents the finale of our trilogy, the titular "The Ninth & Beyond", featuring Beethoven's Symphony No.9 and Brahms's Symphony No.4. Based on Friedrich Schiller's poem "An die Freude" ("To Joy"), the powerful Ninth remains a central part of our culture today as a representation of universal brotherhood, humanity and joy. This magnificent symphony, however, ironically also served as a giant that overshadowed many composers beyond Beethoven, many who cannot bring themselves to an inevitable comparison with this masterpiece. It was not until Brahms, crowned by critics as the true successor of Beethoven, finally broke the "Beethoven curse" by truly inheriting and advancing the symphonic genre. By Brahms's final symphony, the Fourth Symphony, he had developed his own unique musical style, revolutionising and inspiring composers then and now. Tonight, HKFO brings to you "The Ninth and Beyond", as we witness together the moment when true revolution and change in musical history is made.
